Score 9.0/10

Jas, tunbridge wells , “Technophobe”

+ Accepts DivX and MPEG4 format PC DVDs. Accepts Windows FAT 16/32 format USB1 sticks. Has Firewire DV video input. Has HDMI. Has SCART. Has Aerial throughput. Has played all verified, non-corrupt content on all disks. Unbelievably, this has no serious bad points so far and (in my opinion) represents excellent value for features.

- a touch slow on the buttons on start-up/eject or load. Not a problem really, like a friend who, will be there slightly late. You grow accustomed to it and adjust expectations.
